Fibre Morphology and Main Physical and Chemical Properties of Some Bamboo Wood of Phyllostachys

Fibre forms,tissue rough measurements,fibre contents and basic densities of thirty-four sorts of scattered bamboo wood of Phyllostachys were tested and analysed.Theresults showed that fibre lengths are from 1.545 to 2.119 mm,fibre widths from 12.20 to 17.64 μm,the ratios of which from 96.6 to 150.4,ratios of the walls and canvities from 2.46 to 5.62,fibre contens from 41.26% to 49.29%,tissue rough measurements from 29.47% to 56.55%,basic densities from 0.559 to 0.809 g/cm3.The results from statistics and analysis of fibre forms and main physical and chemical properties of the above-mentioned bamboowood show a remarkable distinction between different sorts of bamboo.
